Welcome to My Counseling Practice!

I especially like helping people discover who they really are! It’s never that person each one of us carry around in our heads that is judging and critical. I am sure you have experienced feeling really critical of yourself and feeling like what can I do about it! And then you think besides it’s probably true…I am that person who can’t seem to get what I want out of life. There is plenty you can do to change that point of view and that is what I love doing- helping you become aware that there are lots of options so you can feel better! I am open to your inquiries. I really like email so contact me at camichie@nc.rr.com.

Services Offered

CONSULTANT FOR CHANGE is a service that I offer for individuals who are not looking for healing from emotional pain, but are individuals who want to be encouraged (supported) on their chosen path for self enhancement. Goals for these sessions are developed by the individual such as "I'm wanting to go in a different direction at work". This is more commonly called "coaching". Sometimes there are emotional road blocks rather than "how do I" issue and we would examine those roadblocks so you can build a bridge to your current situation and feel energized.

INDIVIDUAL OR COUPLES COUNSELING is an option for those who are feeling depressed, anxious, dealing with divorce or maybe infidelity. Medication usually has been tried and is on-going, yet the malaise remains. Each person will learn of their personality adaptations based on the research by Dr. Vann Joines. It is scored and the results are given in the initial session. Each person receives a 30-page handout describing each of the six personality adaptations types. By knowing your personality adaptations, allows the couple or individual to clearly see where the pitfalls are and what they can chose to change about themselves that will resolve the pitfalls or "stuckness". In working with couples, it is not about "if he/she changes then everything will be okay." It's about changing yourself and getting your partner to support you in that change. This requires "risking" or being "vulnerable" with each other rather than defending and blaming.

The 3 E’S of Change

Some people already have a good idea as to what they need to do to change their inner landscape; they need a consultant to encourage. Some other people need specific instructions on "how do you ..." ; they need a skills trainer to educate. And others need space where the therapist gently guides them as they examine their life, so they can learn that they are "okay" and they can choose to live a life in the present moment that has meaning for them.

Through my practice, I offer individuals and couples the opportunity to explore, examine, and change their assumptions and beliefs about themselves and the world.
